The project aims to create a low-cost, durable, easy-to-clean incubator that can be used to provide the required environment for orphaned animals who are often neonates/nestlings.

Project Overview

The goal of wildlife rehabilitation is to treat sick, injured, orphaned, and otherwise distressed wildlife, and release them back into their natural habitat. Wildlife rehabilitation incorporates the care of orphaned mammals and birds. Many are neonates or nestlings who cannot regulate their own body temperature. They require supplemental heat to survive. Private parties with a passion for saving lives often get involved in rehabilitation efforts, but lack the funds to purchase an incubator to provide the required environment.
The project aims to create a low-cost, durable, easy-to-clean incubator that can be used to provide the required environment for orphaned animals who are often neonates/nestlings. The design of the incubator should be able to be presented to key individuals at a national wildlife rehabilitators conference in February 2024.
